Well you could go many ways with this. First off they would live in isolation for the rest of their lives. Eventually they would start a society and there fore they would begin to out grow where ever they are staying. Sooner or later the society would be discovered leading to a dispute among humans and the creations. Or the monsters society could be technology superior to our own and eventually the monsters could subjugate humans.

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is a cautionary tale about the dangers of man's ambition and scientific pursuits. We see this danger in the reaction of people, including the monster's creator Victor Frankenstein, to the grotesque appearance of the monster. Although many modern interpretations present the monster as an object of evil, Shelley was actually more concerned with how the prejudice and irrational hatred of people transformed the monster...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/novel-lt-frankenstein-gt-victor-frankenstein-486083#1Sun, 2 Aug 2015 13:04:41 PSTIn the novel Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein destroyed the female...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/novel-lt-frankenstein-gt-victor-frankenstein-486083
In the novel Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein destroyed the female creature that the monster demanded he create. The topic of the essay assignment is to imagine the new creatures' world such as their ( the two creatures) lives, offspring, and the society that they would make if Victor had made the female creature. I would like to have a clue for different ideas or the direction of the essay that I should take to write an essay.http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/novel-lt-frankenstein-gt-victor-frankenstein-486083#2August 2, 2015, 11:05 am PSTThe concept of a "tragic hero" is specific to an aristocratic cultural...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/how-frankenstein-tragic-hero-285073
The concept of a "tragic hero" is specific to an aristocratic cultural milieu, and functions to locate the hero as almost an intermediary between the divine and the human. Most ancient tragic heroes trace their lineage back to the gods and are thus themselves demi-gods. Even in Renaissance tragedy, the protagonists we consider tragic heroes are usually kings or nobles. What makes this significant is that it means that they are not just private...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/how-frankenstein-tragic-hero-285073Tue, 23 Jun 2015 07:58:55 PSTThank you :)http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/could-you-please-suggest-conclusion-topic-danger-481142

The monster often watches the family in order to understand them better, and once most of the family is out, he goes in the house in order to meet the elder. The elder is blind and therefore cannot see how the monster really looks, making it so he cannot discriminate against his appearance. While the monster looks scary, he has done deeds to help the family, and everyone but the older Mr. Delacey views him as a threat. When the family sees the...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/how-does-de-lacey-family-react-when-they-see-479878Fri, 19 Jun 2015 03:41:22 PSTThe goal in writing a conclusion to an essay, if that is what you seek,...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/could-you-please-suggest-conclusion-topic-danger-481142
The goal in writing a conclusion to an essay, if that is what you seek, is to attempt to revisit the main points made in the essay briefly without merely repeating the Introduction or sounding redundant. This can be accomplished because your reader knows more about your reasoning and evidence when he or she reads your conclusion than when reading your introduction. Thus you might refer back to your strongest example, or best point, and the...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/could-you-please-suggest-conclusion-topic-danger-481142#4Wed, 17 Jun 2015 00:07:49 PSTMary Shelley’s Frankenstein is considered by many to be the novel that...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/could-you-please-suggest-conclusion-topic-danger-481142
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is considered by many to be the novel that launched the literary genre of science fiction. Good science fiction often questions the wisdom of scientific advancement. In that vein, many science fiction novels have examined ideas that man might be better off leaving alone (2001 A Space Odyssey springs to mind). Shelley’s Frankenstein looks at a noble idea (creating life) and shows how such an endeavor might...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/could-you-please-suggest-conclusion-topic-danger-481142#5Sun, 14 Jun 2015 12:58:05 PSTCould you please suggest a conclusion on the topic of "The Danger of...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/could-you-please-suggest-conclusion-topic-danger-481142

According to my Lit. teacher, Coleridge and Shelley actually knew each other. Coleridge often read 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' to Shelley, which is why Shelley has many references to the poem in 'Frankenstein'. Those who haven't read 'Frankenstein' often depict the monster as a zombie, simply an illiterate being who has come back from the dead. However, the readers well know that this is not true. The monster is in fact extremely...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/why-does-this-coleridge-passage-appear-105561Thu, 11 Jun 2015 09:43:14 PSTTeachers and professors are known for drawing odd or unusual parallels...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/how-relationships-between-macbeth-and-lady-macbeth-480394
Teachers and professors are known for drawing odd or unusual parallels between literary works of vastly different subjects and structures. In the case of William Shakespeare's Macbeth and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, a comparison of relationships between central characters is particularly, shall we say, interesting. Lady Macbeth has become synonymous with the strong, forceful and highly-manipulative wife of a despotic figure who owes his...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/how-relationships-between-macbeth-and-lady-macbeth-480394Mon, 1 Jun 2015 01:46:50 PSTHow are the relationships between Macbeth &amp; Lady Macbeth and...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/how-relationships-between-macbeth-and-lady-macbeth-480394

Victor primarily gained knowledge: he learned how to create life and to bestow it upon a lifeless body. This is something he really wanted to achieve because he was influenced by Cornelius Agrippa, an alchemist. His interest forced him to leave his home at the age of twenty one and to proceed to the University of Ingolstadt to study this form of science. While at the University, he got to learn about and distinguish between science and...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/what-does-victor-gain-lose-from-his-knowledge-334515Thu, 28 May 2015 10:35:03 PSTIn Chapter III of Mary Shelley's classic of Gothic literature,...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/how-does-victor-frankenstein-fail-act-ethically-480049
In Chapter III of Mary Shelley's classic of Gothic literature, Frankenstein: Or, the Modern Prometheus, the author presents a surprisingly eloquent and somewhat prescient argument with respect to the moral boundaries that should, perhaps, confine scientific experimentation the consequences of which could harbor ill for the whole of mankind. It is in this chapter that Shelley's protagonist, Victor Frankenstein, ponders, if only briefly, the...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/how-does-victor-frankenstein-fail-act-ethically-480049Tue, 26 May 2015 01:26:47 PST
